Beyond Confederation: Origins of the Constitution and American National Identity - Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press
Stephen Botein
Examines the ideological background of the US Constitution, the rigours of its writing and ratification, and the problems it both faced and provoked immediately after ratification. The essays in this collection question much of the heritage of eighteenth-century constitutional thought and suggest that many of the commonly debated issues have led us away from the truly germane questions.
